Moehler is scheduled to undergo season-ending hip surgery Wednesday to repair a muscle in his lower abdomen. The 38-year-old right-hander wraps up the year with a 4.92 ERA and 28/26 K/BB ratio over eight starts and 12 relief appearances. Wed, Sep 1, 2010 09:45:00 AM

Brian Moehler has elected to have surgery on his lower abdominal muscle.

Moehler will not be back this season, but he wasn't much of a fantasy option as a sixth starter and long reliever type anyway. Wed, Aug 25, 2010 02:48:00 PM

Keuchel, who won his third straight Gold Glove on Tuesday, didn't pitch after August 27 due to left shoulder inflammation. He's been working on strengthening his shoulder and will go for an MRI later this month. If he gets good news, he's hoping to be considered to pitch for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Keuchel will be aiming to rebound in 2017 after he posted a disappointing 4.55 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 26 starts.

Lance McCullers' agent, Scott Boras, said that there has been no medical indication that his client's elbow injury will have an effect on the 2017 season.

"There's nothing from the doctors that we've heard that would suggest that there's going to be any problem for '17," Boras said. McCullers was forced out of action in early August due to a mild elbow sprain, one which kept him on the shelf for the remainder of the regular season. He did progress to throwing a bullpen session in late September, but the Astros ultimately decided it would be best for his long-term prospects not to push the issue. GM Jeff Luhnow has said that he expects McCullers to be fully recovered by spring training.
